In 2016, as a guest of explanation of the 58th Grammy Awards Ceremony of CCTV, introduced the history and trend of popular music in Europe and the United States across the country.

Jijie may not be the hottest among the fast men in 2007, but it is impressive.

Now, he occasionally runs in the park in Beijing with Tan Weiwei, and fans can call Jijie's name as soon as possible. Because his appearance is too recognizable.

At that time, Jie Jie, who was tall, mature appearance, and unique in singing, was particularly noticeable among a group of boys in his early 20s.

Looking back at the past, on June 21, Jijie told the cover reporter: "I miss the self without reservation of music."

It is said that returning is still a teenager. Today, 15 years later, Jijie is no longer a teenager. He is very direct: "I am 46 years old."

But the teenager's mind is still there. The experience of years has given him enough ambitions to let go.

Jijie is making a new music album with British producer Tim Hutton, British female singer Jessie J, and a Danish musician. The album will be integrated into the Yi instruments and music elements. He expects that the voices of his hometown can get widespread attention internationally.

He said: "Leave some sounds for the world through music, which may be the most important for me now."

15 years ago, I made a decision to make myself not regret

Ji Jie felt that it was time to do something about himself.

Now the popular entertainment industry archeology, the high -paste video of the fast male competition in 2007 was dug out like treasures, causing memories of old fans and harvesting new fans' screams.

Many friends around him were forwarding and passing, and Jijie couldn't help but look at it. The gate of memory 15 years ago opened instantly.

In the year, 30 -year -old Jijie had a good job in Shanghai, but he gave up everything and ran to participate in the fast male draft.

He still thanked the choice of the year: "I really did something to not regret himself."

The boys in the competition sang their favorite songs for the final fight, and made each appearance as the last chance; for the friends of the friends to eliminate tears and nose, they still had to raise their stubborn heads and strive to smile.

"At that time, because I liked music, there was a strong force, just to rush forward. It was pure, we did not have the so -called Taiwanese, people's settings ... and there were not many arrangements and recording, all of them were true."

This makes Jiejie proud, maybe the reason why he turns red on the Internet again.

Every PK is bloody, and friendship is pure.

On May 8, 2007, Jijie won the first place in the "Happy Boys" Nanjing Singing District Finals and directly entered the "Happy Male Voice" national top ten national competitions.

That night made Jijie unforgettable for a lifetime.

The "Happy Boys" Nanjing singing area gathered 14,000 popularity within 9 days, but the candidates who advanced to the top 50 were not born. The appearance of Jijie broke this situation.

"I was very late when I signed up. At that time, a 'red scarf' in the area was not sent. The judge was Teacher Chengyuan and Teacher Wu Zhoutong. As soon as I went, I got the first red scarf and cleared the customs directly."

Sturdy life without explanation.

Jijie finally became the champion of the Nanjing Division. "Although I was very confident before I went, I really didn't expect it at the time."

Jie Jie still remembers what he was holding the trophy that night, "I feel particularly proud, I can't forget that for a lifetime."

Because the competition is real, the feelings between each other are particularly real.

"We (contestants) see anyone like a family on any occasion, and there is no polite. No matter who encounters difficulties, everyone else will help without reservation. This friendship is also a good one for me in this life. The reward. "In 15 years, he was fighting, and his obsession has never changed

Regarding the new album, Jijie will follow the traditional form of Yi nationality, and the presentation method is very popular.

Jijie's dream when he was a child was his own tape or CD, and now this dream has not changed.

His debut is the peak, and this sentence describes that he is not suitable.

He is not an avant -garde, but too avant -garde, so that many people who are avant -garde at that time are unacceptable.

"In 2007, no one sang jazz music and soul music on the TV, so my style was different from others at that time."

When Apple mobile phones have not yet popularized, his 2011 album "Red and Black" has entered Apple Music and Spotify Global Paid Download.

Entering the entertainment industry, Jie Jie became a singer, had the opportunity to make music, and released 3 albums.

Recalling this, he was still grateful.

In the 14th Chinese Music Media Awards, Zhou Huajian and Li Zongsheng won several awards, but the King of Song gave Jijie. The two albums with different styles of "Deeper" and "Iseco", which he launched, incorporates Yi elements into modern pop music and won praise in the industry.

At that time, Jijie won the first king of the "Best Mandarin Male Singer" in one fell swoop, and won the two technical awards of the best producer and best grouper with his partners behind him. A total of 4 awards, becoming one of the big winners, the limelight.

But the entertainment industry also confused Jijie. "I personally think that it is still a more complicated industry."

Jijie described that various external reasons have caused him to encounter many difficulties and enter the trough of life at the same time. In the past 15 years, he has been in a confused period for three or four years.

He had to admit: "Just relying on a love music and his understanding of music in the circle, sometimes the resistance is quite strong."

But Jijie did not sink in confusion, but worked hard to change the track.

In 2019, Jijie began to do live, from only 25 audiences to tens of thousands of fans online. "I did a live broadcast for music. I think that if the live broadcast is done well, it is even more popular. More people like me. I can do my fourth and fifth album."

Jijie will sell some votes for albums and concerts during the live broadcast. At the first anniversary of the live broadcast, he also opened an online concert.

After becoming a head anchor, in early 2022, Ji Jie resolutely chose to return to music. All e -commerce and brand Fang felt that Jijie was "crazy" and even proposed whether he could arrange assistant on behalf of the broadcast. Jijie still said goodbye to the past, and did not leave other people to think.

In 2013, Jie Jie's "Deep Inces" and "Iseco" were produced by British producer Timhutton. When he participated in the variety show "I am a singer" in Hunan Satellite TV, he was the agent of the British female singer Jessie J. The two become good friends. In addition, on behalf of Sichuan Satellite TV to the 59th Grammy Awards Ceremony, I interviewed many foreign stars and musicians. These accumulated international front -line music resources made Jijie feel that it was time to do his own things.

"Although I was really successful later, I always thought that I had more powerful one day, and I still have to make music. Because for someone like me, I live at this age and experience this. Many, money is really not so important. However, it is most important for me to leave the world through music. "

He hopes that the millions of fans owned by live broadcast can become a channel for his inheritance of Yi music.

"Musicians like me do not pursue a famous song, nor the price of the price of business performances, but expresses what they want to express."

Today, 15 years later, he will sing Yi music to the world

Jijie wants to pass the voices of the nation to the world.

Jijie is good at using his own style to perform the artistic essence and spiritual charm of each song as a personalized singing and groaning.

In his teens, he listened to the songs of Whitney Houston, Marie Kellyia, Michael Jackson, and imitated their aria. Many foreign friends said: "Jijie, you sing better than our singers."

But in Jijie's view, "useless, that's imitation." He wanted to find a way to belong to himself.

The Yi people's music culture has a long history, and the ancient Yi family poetry and the encounter of rap art will definitely open out gorgeous flowers.

"The flowers bloom and fall, spring, summer, autumn and winter are waiting for me ..." Jie Jie's 2013 song "Flower" was unique to the unique unique unique to the Yi youth and combined with the electronic style to make people return to Daliangshan.

This was created by Jijie on Zhaoxue Mountain and his first Yi song. "I have never written a Yi song, but it is in my blood, and it erupted gently."

This song also made Jijie reach the championship of the Chinese song rankings.

Once I participated in the funeral of relatives, Ji Jie clearly remembered: "My mother sang a whole day at the funeral. Although there were only two same melody, they were excited for a while, sad for a while, happy lyrics, and special emotions. Strong, as your emotions are undulating, the songs have changed by tens of simple melody. "Hook is a key element in popular music. The hook part is also called the memory point of the song.

Jijie found that Yi songs are very similar to many popular songs at the moment. "Each song has a hook. The same melody, you sing calmly, sing in the next paragraph, and sing easily after a while. You can remember it when you hear it, but it is easy to get up, but its lyrics Very emotional, full of emotions. "

Jijie has been collecting Yi music materials.

In 2019, Jijie participated in the global creation camp of Sony Records and wrote songs with several musicians from South Africa and Britain. Jijie wrote a song "Azhi". When he wrote the Yi people's melody scene, the other musicians were screaming. "They have never heard this kind of music."

This makes Jijie firmly confident: As a Yi singer, in addition to inheriting the Yi things, let domestic friends hear, but also let people else in the world hear. "To show our self -confidence, this is what I am particularly willing to do."

The new album that plans to appear at the end of the year will follow the traditional singing form of the Yi nationality, and the presentation method is very popular.

The most important thing of Jijie this year is to do the new album.

He returns to his hometown every year, to a high mountain, listening to those old people singing. If there is no way to record it, record it.

The biggest harvest of Jijie's 3 -year live broadcast is to pave the way for the future: "I have 3 years of live broadcast operations, and even have a lot of experience in business cooperation. Now I can continue to create art sincerely and without benefits."

Because of the epidemic, only video and email can be communicated with international producers, and Jijie couldn't remember how many mails had been sent. Because of the time difference, Jijie could only call and email the musicians in Britain, Denmark, and the United States in the middle of the night. "Every day is upside down."

But these international musicians were amazed when they heard Yi music. "They all said, how could there be such a sound? Putting this oldest voice into electronic music has a magical chemical reaction."

Jijie is very confident: "I think many people will like it."

He felt that it was time for himself to "ambition" at this age: "I also hope that after we make the work quietly, put the Yi music in all places in the world."
